A total of 42 papers were presented and discussed in 14 sessions. The list of sessions included deposit markets, peer-to-peer lending, bank supervision and risk, syndicated lending, debt markets, mutual funds, and a number of others. ​

More than 130 people attended the conference, which was held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the University Club in downtown Chicago.

Prior to this academic conference, many attendees joined the 11th Annual Risk Management Conference on April 4-5 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Together, these two conferences offer a unique opportunity to connect theory and practice.

The vision of the conference is to support a growing community of academics and others through an open exchange of research on financial institutions.
